The standard US infantry weapon was the Springfield muzzle loading percussion cap rifle fitted with a ring socket bayonet. Most of the artillery was also of the rifled muzzle loading variety. Cavalry troops used the breech loading Sharps Carbine, plus a sabre, and a percussion cap revolver. Officers also carried a revolver and a sabre in lieu of a rifle.
